Tassie Cameron will executive produce the drama about an ER doctor who helps terminally ill patients die on their own terms.

Entertainment One and former Rookie Blue boss Tassie Cameron have gotten a greenlight for the assisted-suicide drama Mary Kills People from Canada's Global Television network.

When the police suspect that crimes have been committed, Harris must fight hard to stay in the killing game. Six episodes of Mary Kills People will shoot in Toronto, starting in summer 2016.

Mary Kills People is produced by eOne and Cameron Pictures, in association with Shaw Media. eOne is handling international distribution for the series.
